I've tried making bread from scratch before, the type of bread that requires using yeast, kneading (or whatever method), fermenting...I'm talking about the whole meal deal here. Then my husband showed interest in bread making also, and he started creating a sourdough starter to make our own sourdough. The bread department thus moved over to him.

However, my interest in bread making never stops. We have several books at home on bread making, and I always keep an eye on new publications. Recently, I checked out a new book from the library: The River Cottage bread Handbook. It is probably the smallest bread book we've read, but it is packed with essential information and helpful photos. Great binding and nice printing. On the same day that I've checked out the book, I baked a bread. It was very satisfying. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the bread. No worry, I need practice. There will be more bread to come.

About Me

My husband and I have a self-sufficient backyard farm on our duplex. We both work full time, but we love spending time working on our "farm".
It is small, but it produces enough food for the two of us. This blog is to record some of the dishes that we make out of our produces.
Of course, all edibles considered, I'll also blog things that are related to the topic. Our goal is sustainable living. Like someone said (forgot who), if we want to change the world, we start with changing the way we eat.
